REQUEST: APPROVE AUTHORIZED MOTORCYCLE REPAIR CENTER LIST
FOR CITY-OWNED MOTORCYCLES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009-
2010
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Aryan, Assistant to the City Manager
DATE: February 25, 2010
CONTENTS: Exhibit A - Authorized Motorcycle Repair Center List
Memorandum from Sgt. Doyle relative to authorized centers
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize staff to utilize vendors on the Authorized
Motorcycle Repair Center List for repairs to city-owned motorcycles.
Commission Recommendation
On February 10, 2010, the Palm Desert Public Safety Commission recommended that
the City Council authorize the Motorcycle Repair Center List.
Backaround
The Palm Desert Police Department currently owns both Honda and BMW motorcycles.
Due to the different makes, equipment, and warranty issues, there are a number of
vendors that install and service this equipment. The attached list of vendors are dealer-
authorized repair centers for the Honda and BMW motorcycles in the City's fleet, and
are also located closest to City Hall.
Repairs and service were previously perFormed at the closest local repair facility, which
was located in Thousand Palms. This location has since gone out of business leaving
no dealer-authorized repair centers in the immediate area. The closest Honda repair
center is in Yucca Valley, and BMW repairs must take place in Riverside.
If repairs are performed by an unauthorized center, all warranties become void. In
addition to warranty concerns, obtaining quotes from authorized dealers entails
transporting the motorcycle to the center, waiting for a technician to determine the
problem, provide a quote and then transport to the next vendor to repeat the process.

Staff Report
Approve Authorized Motorcycle Repair Center List

This uses both transport and troubleshooting time, as well as staff time for the officer or
officers involved.
Furthermore, during regularly scheduled service, additional work may be required to
resolve previously unknown issues in order to ensure the vehicle meets the appropriate
specifications. Having the regular maintenance performed at a location on the
Authorized Motorcycle Repair Center List would eliminate the need to obtain quotes for
additional necessary repairs, thereby reducing the amount of time the vehicle would be
out-of-service.
Purchases, repairs, or services valued at more than $25,000 will follow the standard
procedure for procurement. Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the
vendors on the attached list for fiscal Year 2009-10.
Fiscal Impact
There is no immediate fiscal impact as a result of approval. However, approval of this
request may result in savings to the City in staff time and effort by avoiding delays in
procurement of repairs and services.
